Thoughts from Atlanta Social Security Disability Attorney, Don Singleton
Generally speaking, Social Security is based on the concept that while you work, you pay taxes into the Social Security system, and when you retire or become disabled; you, your spouse and your dependent children receive monthly benefits that are based on your reported earnings. Also, your survivors can collect benefits in the event of your death. However, not everyone is eligible for social security as eligibility is determined by considering various factors, including certain work requirements.
It is extremely common for the initial application for Social Security Disability benefits to be denied. The next step following a denial is to appeal the Social Security Administration’s decision. However, appealing a Social Security disability claim is a cumbersome process that can be overwhelming and frustrating for individuals pursuing the appeal.
